Trustee|| ||20 May 2022|| ||20 May 2022|| **Norwich Rowing Club** ## **Charitable Incorporated Organisation** ## **Charity Number 1192654** ## **Statement of Financial Activity for the period 12 November 2020 to 31 August 2021** ## **Statement by the trustees** The trustees present the first accounts of Norwich Rowing Club, a charitable incorporated organisation. The charity was created on 12 November 2020, and registered on the Register of Charities with the Charity Commission on 4 December 2020. In the period to 31 August 2021, there are no financial transactions to record. At 31 August 2021, the charity has no assets, and no liabilities. These statements are not subject to audit or inspection, and no audit or inspection has been undertaken. The charitable objectives of the charity are to promote participation in healthy recreation, in particular by the provision of facilities for the sport of rowing including sculling and related activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of Norwich and its environs. To that end, the charity anticipates receiving a gift, in September 2022, of all the assets of Norwich Rowing Club (an unincorporated members club), and from that date, the charity will begin activities in furtherance of its objectives. The members of the unincorporated club have approved that gift, and approved the creation of the charity. It was originally anticipated that the gift of the assets and commencement of activities would be completed during 2021 but that has been delayed whilst banking and other administrative matters are finalised. The trustees anticipate that the accounts to 31 August 2022 will also show no activities, but that activities will commence in September. The Trustees declare that they have approved the above Statement of Financial Activity. ----------------- Nick Francis Trustee
